When former employees ask for references, you should: a.) go all Chatty Cathy, b.) reference EvilHRLady, or c.) channel Darth Vader and "deal with them" yourself.

Suzanne Lucas (aka Evil HR Lady) asked six labor and employment lawyers, including our authors at Constangy, and shared them in the inc.com article. Here is some of what she heard:

  • avoid them
  • be aware of legal obligations
  • scratch my back and I'll scratch yours
  • know the code
  • ad hoc is not a policy
  • be honest
